Nancy drew games
My parents and their friends bought me every educational PC game they could find and there were so many I loved but the Nancy Drew series is closest to my heart… for girls who aren’t afraid of a mouse 🥹 i loved going through everybody’s stuff and getting into their business and exploring these beautiful thoughtfully designed environments. I fell off with the newer ones but I played pretty much all of them.
Iconic theme music and soundtrack… so cozy and atmospheric and fun but also scary sometimes! The first one I ever played was Message in a Haunted Mansion when I was super little and listening to the theme music as I explored the haunted house scared me so much I cried 😭

I ALSO LOVE NANCY DREW GAMES, my first was ghost dogs of moon lake and i was so scared of going out at night! my favorite is secret of shadow ranch tho. if you haven’t played them in a while you should go do it! they make for such a fun time on a rainy day

jackalope I loved both of those so much!!!!!!! They’re some of my favorites + Stay Tuned for Danger, The Final Scene, and Treasure in the Royal Tower 💖 that’s such a great suggestion I might watch gameplay of them sometime instead because i used to play them with my sister!!

Nancy Drew
Completely obsessed with the book series (the original and girl detective series), the Emma Roberts’ movie, the Nancy Drew: Detective show from the 1930s, and the computer games.
I had a kit with a notebook, pen, magnifying glass. Truly thought I would be a private eye.

ENDING SENTENCES WITH ELLIPSES LIKE A BOOMER
It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
